In addition to the purpose outline, an underlying purpose for the year would be to get students thinking like scientists. This video could be an additional resource to help students want to accomplish this. The video is extremely sarcastic, but would show students that no matter how much they might not like science, the people who ignore its importance end up looking stupid...sometimes on national television. This video in particular would only be played based on the teachers judgement of the maturity level of the class.
